Surely the argument is just to have an LLM stressing for vulnerabilities during the build pipeline before merging to main? Resulting in better security from LLMs. One must assume this was a direction they wanted to move towards and this is

While there is nothing inherently wrong with this. It does have vibes of Mayers and the Yahoo logo. The ship is going down but we have a fresh new look!

The article image is literally the USA with a jetpack and Europe with a ball and chain. So it seems self evident why somebody might reference the US.

Is it just me or does it seems very odd that GrapheneOS only runs on a phone produced by the company that makes Android. Meaning that ironically, it isn't a Google alternative. I know the reasons are technical, but still, it means I ha

My personal experience is Remix has all kinds of problems akin to the issues in the blog post, including the mess that is remix -> react router v7. When I worked with Remix a year ago logging and middlewares were also a disaster. For exa

The Zen of Python: there should be one obvious way to do things. Python in practice: there is more ways of doing it than in any other programming language. Oh Python, how I love and hate you.

Great template. It certainly reflects the process I've gone during some difficult conversations, at least when I did them well. And I've certainly done the other approach where I just dug my trench and they dug theirs; oh lord, is

I'm not a fan of the SPA, or at least in practice, but there is something very attractive about going with a solution that everybody knows. At work we are building a new "website like" frontend and it is a SPA (that internall

It's clear to me that the frontend conversation space is broken. Not even just the ecosystem being a mess. Boiling down the conversation I see in the article, it just seems to be: the browser as a HMI vs the browser as a an application

Potentially using the git hash as a seed would make sense, so for a given snapshot of code it is always going to be deterministic. When the git hash changes (i.e. your code) then that would result in a different set of test inputs running.

Just as an anecdotal experience. It doesn't necessarily go without saying. The most memorable discussion I had around PBT was with a colleague (a skip report) who saw "true" randomness as a net benefit and that reproducibilit

My 2 cents The SSR game is peak frontend fashion. The players in this space sell hosting solutions and getting you onto their platform and spending money is their primary goal (i.e. increasing the amount of server side compute and ancillary

Wiz seems to only be about 4 years old, as per wikipedia. That valuation in such a short amount of time surely must be some kind of record? Or am I missing something?

All great points. I try to de-google mostly from a personal perspective (though still haven't gotten off Maps or Android). I use loads of Google products at work though because I'm not the decision maker there.

The model they use is relatively well known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steward-ownership My personal experience with this model boils down to: you make a company and a charity. Where the charity owns special share

I really like the idea of Ecosia and Steward Owned companies, but as somebody who wants out of the Ad game completely, uses uBlock Origin religiously and pays for services like email and search. I haven't actually used Ecosia, but am i

I guess the quality here is resilience more so than immunity. I guess you can say opensource is much more resilient to enshittification. I think Mozilla has been a good example of that but the perception has been that resilience has been cr

While I enjoyed the discussion as an exercise in stripping back positions to underlying principles. I find it a great irony that the overarching reason why they diverge on what is "good practice" is not discussed. John sounds like

In my opinion, I think the author is criticizing bike shedding [1] rather than meaningful decisions. Of course some people will differ on whether a decision is one or the other. But as a whole, not sweating the details is a good quality to

From experience, this goes from many little piles of hell to sprawling piles of hell. Obviously the current situation isn't good, but the "collection of interdependent composable SQL builders" will turn into an insane system

I see a lot of push back against this approach. And since it is something I've been experimenting with recently, this is pretty interesting stuff. Clearly it has issues with query planning getting messed up, which is not something I ha

I once used Team City and Octopus Deploy in a company. And ever since then, dealing with Gitlab Pipelines and Github Actions, I find them so much poorer as a toolkit. We are very much in the part of the platform cycle where best-in-breed is

Just from personal experience. This is a great way to avoid blogging and instead work on your blog. It totally works for some people though.

100% agree with how confusing it all feels. Smudging data and code back together feels like a massive step backwards. I can't but be reminded of the disaster that was ASP.NET Webforms. It took me a while to grok that in SSR frameworks,
